Yes - Jumper is absolutely right - under most of the Directives (some differ slightly - other differ greatly) the importer carries responsibility.

Please me aware that Enforcement Officers have changed tack. in the 90's they would buy products and test them.

Now they just ask for documentation. If you don't have a Declaration of Conformity - big problem.

If you call up the wrong Directives or don't have reports things also get sticky.


During the last year or so the UK MoD announced they 'require' products to conform consumer regulations and bear the CE Marking IF IT WAS PRACTICAL. Bullets are I believe still exempt.
